Trending Color Palettes for Businesses

Consider the following steps when selecting the best paint colors for your business.

• Create a color palette. Businesses create color palettes by grouping multiple color that complement each other. Three colors are required for a color aesthetic: a main color, a trim color and an accent color. Use brighter colors for accents and opt for neutral colors in your main spaces.
• Combine interior and exterior colors. Use complementary colors indoors and out to give your building a cohesive aesthetic. For example, hospitality and multifamily properties can repurpose the main exterior colors for common spaces like cafeterias or gyms.
• Matte finishes are best suited to low-traffic areas such as guest rooms or residential units. They work well with uneven walls because they mask imperfections like holes or patches.
• Satin finishes are recommended for high-traffic areas like lobbies, offices or common areas. They are stain-resistant and provide more durability. The extra gloss, however, can accentuate wall imperfections.
• Look on the bright side. Clean, bright building exteriors can effectively boost curb appeal. Modern colors are especially effective at appealing to younger demographics.

Pro Tip: Light, cool colors can make common rooms look larger. Use warm colors to make patient rooms, residential units or guest rooms feel safe and cozy.
